It was


not in my original plan
to come straight to a four year school.


I'm not gonna lie.


I found out I was accepted two days
before I came to an open house


and honestly, just a lot of fun.


And I automatically felt at home here.


It's just something with the campus.
I really liked it and enjoy it.


And my tour guide actually made me feel
like I was just a Spartan that day.


A Graham School of Business
does a great job with that.


And the students feel it.


When students
attend the Graham School of Business,


they become a member of the Graham family.


It's a wonderful institution,
wonderful culture, I think that we are


very, very student centered.


Because we have small class sizes.


We are able to connect
with the students work


with the students closely
and help them be successful.


The professors
actually kind of know who you are.


I've really seen that, that is one
of the main things that I enjoy.


Pretty much, if you showed me
a name of a student in cybersecurity,


I could tell you some anecdote about them,
and I really like that.


York College of Pennsylvania
is a community,


a group of dedicated,
committed individuals


sharing a common vision


to provide a very high quality education.


I think that's a unique mission, unique


core value, which separates
differentiates us from other institutions.


I think as an educational institution,
we have a responsibility


to give the education
that will make the students successful.


Not just professionally or academically,


but as a overall person.


At York, we enjoy collaborating with one
another to enrich the students experience,


getting content
that they're doing in one class


to connect to content
they're doing in another class


so that we can get them
to see the whole big picture.


So the Graham business school
is not a bunch of departments


so much as it's it's a it is liberal arts.


Our business strategy class
and our integrated business experience


seek to have students
look at a holistic view of business.


And so if we're able to have students
from a wide variety of majors


work together,
those projects are often most successful.


Next semester, I'm
actually taking a communications class,


video production and audio production.


So I think that will tailor towards
where marketing


and like the whole social media
aspect is going in general.


So I think that'll help me build
some more skills.


Most of our graduate students
work in business in some capacity,


but based on the business base
in the city of York, we also have a number


of engineers, health professionals
who go through our programs as well.


And so this gives our students
an opportunity to learn from each other.


We have a student managed fund also,
and that student


managed fund
is open to all students across campus.


The takeaway for them is great.


When they go talk
to a prospective employer,


one of the questions they get
invariably is what did you do in the fund?


It gives them a platform


to to talk more and more
about their experiential learning.


One of my classes in


the winter had a guest speaker every class
and we talked with some high up people.


That was amazing.


They teach us about the industry
that we may not know.


We have to do summer work experiences.


You get a job into something that
you could like, and if you don't like it,


then you learn from it
and you're able to say, Alright,

well now I know that
I don't want to do what I just did.


It offers you the opportunity to say, Oh,
I know what this is because I learned it


in school.


In a program,
you have to be teaching skills.


Not answers.


Because any answer that I teach
in cybersecurity today is going to be


irrelevant six months from now at best,
and two weeks from now at worst.


Or maybe tomorrow at worst.


And so that's something very unique
about the York program.


Is that we were thinking about
where the industry is going,


what the actual needs are,
how the strategy piece plays out,


and we've been educating our students
to fill that role.


A lot of people see business
as something so common.


I will say that it's not as common
as people think it is and it's not as easy


as people think it is.


But I didn't mind if it was hard,
I was like, I want to learn more.


How do you do this? How do you do this?
This is where I want to be.


If business is a part of your thoughts.


Definitely give it a try.


And I'm
pretty sure that with the staff here


and the classes that we offer, I'm pretty
sure they're definitely going to love it.
